I love how the author in a comment never advocates GUI tools because they "often abstracts away much of the underlying complexity".
WRONG. The expose the underlying complexity in a visual way much easier to interpret for the brain.
The argument of interoperability is valid, but please stop bashing UI tools just becuase "If you write code day in day out you SHOULD be comfortable on the command-line". UI tools exist for a reason.
Honestly, I hate most GUI tools myself. They're often clunky and poorly designed for my tastes. (Even if there does exist a good visualization, that doesn't mean it has been discovered.)
But in this case, I agree with you. The `git gui` command is great for committing changes in patch mode visually. I use it exclusively over `git add -p`. (And it comes bundled with `git`!)
